Rules

Official Standards Active Policy

Xael Gaming Network Rules

Our community and modded servers are built around fair play, respectful collaboration, and a creator-friendly environment. These rules apply universally to all players across the network.

Applicability & The Anarchy Server Exception

This master rule set governs all Xael Gaming servers (including Xael SMP, ATMons, ATM10, ATM10 To the Sky, Create Aeronautics, and Creative/Events).
⚠️ Anarchy Exception: Our dedicated Anarchy Server operates with minimal rules and raw survival freedom (griefing, raiding, and unregulated warfare are permitted on Anarchy). However, server-crashing packet exploits, IRL threats, doxxing, and illegal real-world activities remain strictly prohibited everywhere.

01

Be Respectful

Zero Tolerance

Treat all players, builders, and staff with baseline courtesy.

No Toxicity or Harassment: Hate speech, discrimination, racial or sexual slurs, personal threats, bullying, or targeted hostility are not permitted under any circumstance.
No Doxxing or Stalking: Sharing personal, private, or real-life information about any player or staff member will trigger an immediate permanent ban.
Civil Conflict Resolution: Settle disputes peacefully. If a conflict arises, contact staff through a ticket rather than arguing in public chat.
02

Keep Chat Streamer-Friendly

PG-13 Public

Keep all broadcast chats safe for Twitch, TikTok, and YouTube creators.

Creator-Safe Content: Avoid graphic sexual discussions, shock content, extreme profanity, gore, and inflammatory real-world politics that could demonetize or ban streamers.
No Advertising or Spam: Do not promote third-party servers, unapproved Discord invites, or commercial links. Do not flood chat with ASCII art or caps spam.
Global Chat English: Use English in global channels so moderation staff can maintain order. Other languages are welcome in private DMs or team channels.
03

No Griefing or Stealing

Property Lock

Player creations, setups, and progress are strictly protected.

Zero Vandalism: Never break, modify, raid, or tamper with another player's base, builds, machines, cable networks, farms, or storage chests.
Creature & Entity Protection: Do not kill, capture, or tamper with another player's Pokémon, pets, named mobs, livestock, or automation entities.
Unclaimed Structures Are Not Free Loot: If you find an unclaimed or untended build, do not loot or dismantle it. Assume it belongs to a player and leave it intact.
04

Respect Claims and Bases

Buffer Zones

Respect all claim boundaries, posted signs, and neighbors' breathing room.

Maintain a Courtesy Buffer: Do not build right against someone else's claim without explicit permission. Give other bases room to expand.
No Claim-Blocking: Claiming land surrounding someone's base to trap them or block their expansion is considered griefing and will be removed by staff.
Respect Signage: Honor posted signs indicating private roads, trade zones, or planned expansions.
05

No Exploits, Dupes, or Bug Abuse

Immediate Ban

Prompt disclosure preserves the server experience for all players.

Disclose Bugs Privately: If you discover a duplication glitch, crash bug, economy loophole, claim bypass, or infinite resource exploit, report it to staff immediately via ticket.
No Dupe Utilization: Using or teaching duplication glitches will result in permanent inventory rollbacks, economy resets, and disciplinary bans.
Illegal Items: Storing, vending, or circulating items generated through glitches, unauthorized NBT modifications, or admin bypasses is prohibited.
06

No Cheating or Unfair Clients

Fair Play

Any modification that grants an unfair advantage over others is forbidden.

Banned Clients: Hacked clients, combat cheats (killaura, reach), x-ray mods/resource packs, freecam, baritone pathfinders, and packet manipulators are forbidden.
Macros & Auto-Clickers: Automation macros or hardware clickers designed to bypass AFK kick timers or farm progression while unattended are strictly prohibited.
Allowed Mods: Client performance enhancements (Sodium, Iris, Lithium, OptiFine), standard HUD minimaps (with cave and player radar disabled), and inventory sorting tools are fully allowed.
07

No Pay-to-Win or Real-Money Trading

Zero RMT

Keep in-game economies clean and uncorrupted by external currencies.

No Real Money Trades (RMT): Never buy, sell, or trade in-game currency, items, Pokémon, bases, accounts, or services for real money, gift cards, or external perks.
Gameplay-Earned Bundles: Supply Bundles, crate keys, and tokens are gameplay-earned rewards only and possess zero real-world cash value.
No Trading Scams: Deceiving players, bait-and-switch trades, or manipulating auction house prices to exploit newer players is forbidden.
08

Keep Builds and Content Appropriate

Visual Decorum

Maintain clean landscapes and respectable visual art across all worlds.

No Offensive Builds: Structures, pixel art, banners, or map art depicting hate symbols, genitalia, explicit sexual themes, slurs, or gore will be deleted instantly without refund.
Landscape Hygiene: Avoid creating unsightly 1x1 nerd poles, floating tree canopies, or giant quarry craters directly beside spawns or public roads. Clean up after harvesting.
09

Do Not Cause Server Lag

TPS Health

Server resources are shared. Build efficiently to preserve high TPS for everyone.

Entity & Mob Caps: Keep animal pens, villager halls, and mob grinders within reasonable limits. Do not build runaway entity breeders that run continuously.
Redstone & Hoppers: Always include an on/off toggle switch for heavy redstone loops, item elevators, and sorting systems. Avoid long un-throttled hopper chains.
Machine Management: In modded servers, shut down unused machines and keep chunk loaders within permitted quotas. Staff reserve the right to freeze or remove lag-inducing builds.
10

Use Claims Responsibly

Claim Hygiene

Claim systems exist to protect what you build, not to hoard or grief.

Claim What You Build: Always claim your active bases, chests, and infrastructure using FTB Chunks or GriefPrevention. If it is unclaimed, it is unprotected.
No Land Hoarding: Do not claim vast swathes of empty territory you have no intention of using, or claim-trap public portals, spawn roads, or points of interest.
11

Respect Staff Decisions & Enforcement

Authority & Appeals

Moderators and administrators work to protect the stability and fun of the network.

Staff Discretion: Staff members may step in to resolve unforeseen disputes, mitigate lag, remove harmful builds, or address disruptive behavior not explicitly detailed in written rules.
Logging & Rollback Protection: Our servers run enterprise block and transaction logging. If you are griefed or looted, submit a support ticket with your coordinates and staff will restore your builds and items.
No Public Argument: Do not debate moderation decisions in public chat. If you believe an enforcement action was mistaken, file an appeal through our official support portal.
Punishment Tiers: Violations are met with progressive action: Verbal Warning → Kick → Temporary Ban → Permanent Network Ban depending on the severity of the offense.
